What does “right team” really mean?
Real negotiation, real money: In one recent case we handled, the offer came in and the buyer’s agent and I were about $10,000 apart. I held firm because that amount wasn’t about ego—it was about market value and what our clients have earned. When the other agent challenged us, saying “you’re just trying to make more money,” we turned to the calculator: $10,000 multiplied by three percent meant nearly $9,700 of that was going to our sellers, not us. That kind of clarity and advocacy is part of our trusted advice for clients navigating homes for sale in London Ontario or considering selling in small-town Ontario.
Why local market insight matters
How is the London Ontario housing market performing in 2025? The latest data from the London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® shows average home prices around $650,500 in June 2025, down 4.2% year-over-year. Meanwhile, listings are rising, giving buyers more choice and putting pressure on sellers to work smarter. That’s why precise pricing and professional representation are essential when selling a home in London Ontario. Local expertise means knowing how these numbers impact your neighbourhood—whether it’s Lucan, Thorndale, Komoka or the city’s west end—and aligning your strategy accordingly.What happens when you skip expert guidance?
When you list without deep local insight you may under-price and leave money on the table, or over-price and sit unsold while carrying costs pile up. Our approach blends data and decades of trusted experience to ensure your home isn’t just listed—it’s positioned correctly for today’s market.How to choose the right agent in small-town Ontario and the city
- Look for transparency about fees and net proceeds. Good agents show the math and explain how every dollar goes back to you.
- Check local track record—not just activity. Have they sold homes like yours? Can they cite recent sales in Exeter or small-town Ontario that mirror your situation?
- Ask about their plan for your home’s value. It’s not about the number of photos—it’s about how you stand out and attract the right buyer.
